After a heated discussion, Elise’s slightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit, as if she had thought of a good idea, and she said:

"Since Raine grew up in Oak Village, why don’t we call it the Oak Guardian Mercenary Corps?"

"Miss Elise, your suggestion is excellent. But in the adventurer’s world, it’s best to reveal some fangs through the team name — it can make enemies fearful and more likely gain the favor of employers."

Schneider thought for a moment, and said with a smile.

"Of course, that’s just my personal opinion. Ultimately, Mr. Rein has to make the decision."

In the end, everyone’s gaze focused again on Raine.

"Since we’re adventurers, why not call it Monster Slayer?" Raine proposed after a slight thought.

Actually, he was quite interested in Elise’s suggestion, but Schneider’s point was also valid.

However, when Raine thought of his Golden Finger, ’monsters’ were an unavoidable topic, so it might as well be called the Monster Slayer Adventurer Group.

Once the team’s reputation grows, task commissioners or employers will have a first impression from the group’s name — ’this team should specialize in slaying monsters’.

Then many with such needs would come looking for them.

This would also perfectly meet his need to collect various monster bloodlines.

From this angle, these employers were like his scouts in finding various mutated monsters.

After all, many monsters are difficult because there are mutated individuals, and there might be some extremely special Monster Skill among them.

Just like the ’Cold-Enhanced Goblin’ he acquired early on, which was a great help at the beginning.

"Alright! Then it’s called Monster Slayer."

"Come, cheers to the establishment of the Monster Slayer Adventurer Group!"

"Cheers!"

Since Raine made the decision, everyone happily agreed, immediately raising their glasses.

...

At the same time.

Inside a luxurious mansion in Bornberry.

Nightmare Blade’s Black Hand Priest, Asher, was frowning while reviewing the latest intelligence.

Suddenly!

The room darkened, a gentle breeze blew, and a hooded man in blood-colored leather armor appeared in front of Asher’s desk, arms crossed with daggers.

The man had two daggers of strange design at his waist, one of which, even sheathed, emitted a faint green magic radiance, clearly revealing that this magic weapon was extraordinary.

In fact, this was the origin of the Nightmare Blade’s name — Nightmare Blade.

"Captain, you’ve arrived." Upon seeing the blood-colored leather armor man, Black Hand Priest Asher stood up, and said with a face full of joy, "Salno’s fate is unknown, Olaf was captured..."

Joraci lifted his hood, revealing a face that was slightly stern, with thin lips, no beard, and long-narrowed eyes. He waved his hand and said in a low voice:

"I’ve seen the report. I’ll connect with someone to rescue Olaf."

"But now, we have another matter to handle."

"Another matter?" Asher asked with a puzzled look, "Wasn’t the Necromancy Crystal taken to Rapids Castle by the kingdom’s team in the Royal Capital?"

"The Necromancy Crystal has been obtained by an advanced insider! I’m referring to another matter, the Soladin Kingdom is about to launch a counterattack, and we need to prepare to welcome it." Joraci’s expression hardened.

"A counterattack?" Upon hearing this, Black Hand Priest Asher’s face shifted.

Although he hadn’t heard about it and didn’t know how the captain got the news, he had no doubt about the authenticity of the event.

However, even though they are part of the Silver Battle Group, facing a kingdom’s counterattack, it’s not going to be easy for them to withstand it alone.

"So what do we..."

"Notify everyone to prepare for combat, wait for my instructions." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Not just us, the Talin Association and the Black Fist Army will be involved. Salno will not die in vain; the Soladin Kingdom will suffer a painful lesson."

"Understood, Captain! I’ll notify everyone immediately."

...

The next morning.

The first light of dawn appeared.

The smell of freshly baked bread and a kind of thick soup wafted through a house in the southwest corner of Mill Town, as Raine enjoyed Laisa’s breakfast with Elise, Reya, and others in the first-floor dining room.

Suddenly.

There was a flurry of footsteps outside, and Henry’s voice could be heard from afar.

"Raine, look what I’ve brought you this time?"

Oh?

Has Henry arrived in Mill Town so early?

If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean they left the Royal Capital in the middle of last night?

A thought flashed by, and Raine, feeling a bit surprised, put down the white bread he was holding and got up to greet the door.

Only to see Henry, surprised to see Raine in a Power set, raise his hand, only to put it down when he saw the sharp spikes on Raine’s shoulders.

"Raine, you’ve upgraded! This seems like a Bronze Level set from the Adventurer’s Association." Since he had a squad under him, although Henry wasn’t an adventurer himself, he was quite familiar with some of the adventurers’ levels and typical equipment.

Speaking, Henry’s eyes soon rested on the obsidian shield Raine carried on his back.

He smirked, with an expression Raine couldn’t quite understand, "Hmm, the shield is a bit lacking though."
